Calibration/Adjustment*
Always calibrate/adjust the balance/scale after setting it up in a new location.
Available Features
Calibration/adjustment can only be performed when
– there is no load on the balance/scale,
– the balance/scale is tared,
– the internal signal is stable.
If these conditions are not met, an error message is displayed.
The weight required for calibration/adjustment is displayed (see “Accessories” for calibration weights).
On ALC balances, calibration/adjustment can be performed with any of three weight units: g, kg**, or lb (menu code
1. 4.
x)
Factory setting: Grams (menu code
1. 4. 1
)

* = “Calibration” technically means to determine the difference between the balance/scale readout and the actual weight
on the pan to determine the accuracy. Adjustment means to bring a balance/scale into the state of accuracy required for its use.
Therefore, “calibration,” as used in this manual, actually means “adjustment.”
